Trip To Airport

Why not? A trip to airport is what I always look forward to. Reasons? Plenty !! But here are few..

 1. Cost Effective. Entire trip can be winded up in 500 bucks, unless you are planning on exploiting the entire menu at every stall in the food court.

2. Time effective. It takes exactly 2 hours to reach there, and 1.5 hours to come back. Plus a time span of half an hour to 2 hours, depending how long you loiter around :P

3. You get a feeling of an actual trip, with people and luggage, all around you, right from the time you board the bus, to the time you come back. Still you are in your city. The crux is: you can quit travelling and come back home, when ever you want, in minimum-est time. :)

The things you can expect to see on the way to aiport:

1. A smashed car/truck or both. The number of people hovering around explains how recent was the accident. Directly proportional !

2. A broken car, and at least two people bizee on their mobile phones. Either they are trying to call their friends. My message to them: no one in this world will come to pick you from "route to airport. forget it !  " (thats my message to my friends, in case they ever land up in such a situation. :D.)
    Or they are trying to reach easy cab or meru .. Even they wont come, forget it. I know by a personal expirience

3. A guy pulling his bike on a flyover. Either his bike ran out of fuel or may be flat tyre. Who knows? Still wearing his helmet. Thats for sure. Either too embarassed to pull it off, or too proud to. No idea about that.

4. Some local crowd, who needs a lift. My question is, how the hell did they get stuck in that remote area in the first place?? MY message: Go back using the same means of commute, as you reached here. Thumbs up and waving hands wont help you, just annoys others. 

5. If you are driving, beware ! sooner or later a car would pass by, with loud music, loud enough to make you deaf for a week. And some wannabes honking, and shouting. Again, I am not sure why.

Things you will see at the airport.

1. Six stray dogs. No more. No less. If you dont trust me, please go and count and let me know :). Donot undermine these dogs. They have more sense than the "beggars" at signals. They donot attack you from all sides. Rather they would come one by one, with some time interval 'c' , where
                               
  c = ( amount of food you have / number of dogs in the agreement ) 

They would peacefully move around you, hoping to get your attention. Give them a single glance and their tongue slides from side of their mouth and licks their left cheek. (An indication "how mouth watering your food is , can i get some? yum yum yum.. ").

2. A group of college kids either in parking lot or food court, with some birthday celebration, cake in back of the car and loud music, of'course.

3. Expensive "devil's own" at CCD (biased people :-/ )

4. Last but not the least, passengers. Airport couldnot have been what it is, if there  were no passengers, who are actually going somewhere. Wish them a Safe Journey
